    MKIII in car cam 9-13-08 track day, Phoenix International Raceway,

    Man you guys are really paying attention. Yea that dudes car was way faster than mine in a straight line, (Supercharged Mustang) and he said thats why he let me pass. He got it sideways way closer to the wall than he liked, and said he decided to cool it for the next few laps. Glad it...

    My restoration project - Rusty 89

    WOW!!! Dont know why I hadn't stumbled on to your build thread earlier, but AWESOME work. I just went thru the whole thread this morning. I cant wait to see that thing running, its always so rewarding going on your first drive and then your first road trip. I know you will have weeks (maybe...

    MKIII in car cam 9-13-08 track day, Phoenix International Raceway,

    Yea it has a Brulen (sp) exhaust, Im borrowing it for a while, its very quiet, I really like it. Yea its just a little digital camera I cant even tell where the mic is. Oh I just found it I think I will see if I can tape a little piece of foam over it for next time. I hate it too, but the...

    MKIII in car cam 9-13-08 track day, Phoenix International Raceway,

    Yea I said "Come on man?!?!?" Thats correct, no spare and no real weigh reduction of any kind. Thats what I thought, but compared to a 3100 lbs C6 thats still a penalty. Are you serious? I thought so too, but I thought somehow it was going faster cause it was locally hosted on my machine too...

    These are my in car video from this weekend. They had scales there, and I weighed the car. This is a stock car with My big brakes front and rear, stainless 3 inch exhaust, FNO1R 17x9 wheels with 275/45-17's Nitto 555 RII's. They ran the beginners with DE2, group, everyone with flashing...

    Son, dad .. car relationship

    The whole family was over at my house for one of the kids birthdays and I was giving everybody rides in the Z, 20~22 psi. First my brother, then a friend and so on. My father in-law has a C4 convertible and says to my friend (while we are out on a drive) "Ill bet my corvette gives him a run...

    Replaced HG, Now I have Low Compression!

    No offence, but why didnt you use a MHG? After all that work I wouldnt risk a stock type HG. Thats just me though, I hate that job. Glad to hear all is well. DAMN Metric system!!! LOL.

    Do you need to Prime the oil pump after a fresh rebuild?

    Yea the 7M has the perfect configuration to make it happen very easily a number of different ways. To bad the JZ series went to a totally different design that would rule this idea out.

    Lipp boss compressor outlet size??

    Im pretty sure when they say BOLT-ON they mean that the turbine housing bolts to the exhaust manifold, and the down pipe bolts to the turbine housing, and the stock O2 sensor bolts up. As far as the compressor housing its only rubber hoses, so even if they are the wrong size you can just get...

    Do you need to Prime the oil pump after a fresh rebuild?

    I actually had this idea of doing something similar to avoid all the accusump stuff. If you had a way to run that pump shaft before you started the motor you would be doing the same thing as the accusump without all the extra plumbing. Dont count me out, I might just do it. LOL.

    White Smoke - BHG assumption

    DriftMotion.com Aaron and Dave are great guys. To quickly confirm you do have a BHG, make sure the car is cold. Pop the radiator cap start the motor and if the coolant comes out, of the cap its a pretty safe bet that you DO have a BHG. If it doesn't over flow, that doesn't mean you DONT have...

    Do you need to Prime the oil pump after a fresh rebuild?

    OK cool, thanks but neither of you said if you NEED to prime your pump?!?!? Plus I still think my running the oil pump is a cooler idea, :stickpoke

    Bigger turbo guys

    I have seen a lot of recommendations about Turbos but I would never consider a T3 or a small frame CHRA for a supra with any motor 3.0 or 2.5 liter. I have a 60-1 T4 with an "O" trim .70 turbine housing and it spools, great compared to many others, and this is in my ultra light Z car. That...

    Do you need to Prime the oil pump after a fresh rebuild?

    Me, I made this mistake in the first motor I ever rebuilt, a Nissan/Datsun L28 but they have an external pump that NEEDS to be primed, (ie: filled with oil from the inside of the pump) this is easy to fix this problem. Drop the pump fill with oil turn with a screwdriver and make sure its full...

    Boost questions

    Clifton was well into the (estimated) 600+ rwhp on stock bottom end but he knows EXACTLY what he is doing. Remember 16 psi from your CT-26 is not the same as 16 psi from your T66, is not the same as 16 psi from your T-70. To answer it simply if you got a wastegate that was big enough to...

    Tips on removing crank pulley bolt

    Thats why an impact wrench works. LOL. OK you could put the motor on the engine stand with the flywheel or flexplate installed. In the case of the flexplate use a pair of stout vice-grips or that previously suggested screwdriver. In the case of the flywheel use a plastic screwdriver or...

    Eagle Rods + Stock Pistons?

    Yea you have to have a compressor that goes over 100 psi like 140-130 would be good enough. Leak the air compressor down to get it to fire up and go to max pressure. You might have to restart the compressor for each cylinder. Leakdown testers have 2 Pressure gauges, the first one is for...
